PEORIA, Ill. — State Senator Chuck Weaver (R-Peoria) has announced that he is retiring from the State Senate at the end of his term and will not seek reelection.
In a news release on Thursday, in October of 2019, Weaver indicated to the Republican County chairs and precinct committee members he may not seek reelection and encouraged other candidates to circulate petitions to be placed on the ballot for the March 17 primary.
The release also stated that Win Stoller of the Peoria area will be on the ballot as the Republican nominee in the election this November to succeed Weaver.
“I would not have made my decision if I was not assured there was a high-quality candidate to pass the baton to as our next State Senator,” said Weaver.
“Win Stoller is a top-notch candidate to replace me and the people of this district will be well served by his representation.”
Weaver continued, “I will continue working hard to serve while in the Senate.
I am greatly humbled by the responsibility granted me by my constituents. I encourage others to become more engaged and serve. It is a truly rewarding experience.”
The general election will be on November, 3rd.
Weaver has been in the State Senate since 2015 after replacing Rep. Darin LaHood (R-Illinois).
